Educator Voices

Teacher interacting with student
"The iCivics Educator Network not only helped me develop best practices for teaching civics and government, but has allowed me to collaborate with educators from across the country. I’ve had the opportunity to engage in meaningful pedagogical conversations, share civics resources, and seek new perspectives about my content matter—all of which has made me a better teacher for my students."

Michael M.

High School Social Studies Teacher

“At the end of the day, I just want my students to be engaged citizens in a democracy, and I want to give them the tools to do that. ... They already know how to practice civil dialogue. They already see the structures and the importance of them, and they know how to set political opinions aside and work with the person as a human in front of them. And because they have practiced these things here, they're going to be able to make this a better place for us. All of us.”
